The authors present a 75-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion. She was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a localized A2 prolapse. This case demonstrates a step-by-step transaxillary,...
Treating patients with both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and severe obesity can be challenging. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alone can exacerbate GERD symptoms and can induce GERD in asymptomatic patients (1)....
The authors present their technique for axillary Impella 5.5 insertion. The preferred incision was made through the deltopectoral groove, where the axillary artery is more superficial and easier to access....
The authors present a 75-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion. She was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a localized A2 prolapse. This...
Mediastinal lipomas are benign, slow-growing masses that can present as large masses due to their insidious onset (1). Symptoms associated with these lipomas are generally due to mass effect, such...
This video series showcases a robotic mitral valve replacement performed by Dr. Feras Khaliel, a world leader in robotics, at King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel...
This case involved a 74-year-old woman who complained of dyspnea on exertion for the past three weeks. She also reported dysphagia for solids without experiencing weight loss. The patient had...
This video presents a Ross procedure with internal and external reduction annuloplasty using autologous tissue rings. The patient was a 41-year-old previously healthy male who presented after a syncopal episode....
This instructional video demonstrates techniques for managing adhesions and preventing air leaks during right upper lobe lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in patients with severe emphysema. In Case 1, a...
Primary tracheal tumors are rare, with adenoid cystic carcinoma being a common subtype with a tendency for submucosal spread (1). Surgical resection with primary anastomosis is the standard treatment. Minimally...
A 74-year-old male with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and a previous transcatheter bioprosthetic aortic valve of less than one year presented to an outside facility with repetitive embolic phenomenon...
Esophageal leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus. Surgical enucleation is indicated for symptomatic or large lesions and is typically performed via a right-sided approach. Case Presentation...
Conventional transvenous pacing is standard care; however, patients with limited venous access often face a therapeutic dead end. The authors present a novel, minimally invasive thoracoscopic technique for right atrial...
